The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 have in common.

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 50.2km + 7.7km
total distance = 58.1km

If 51% of the town's 42,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{51}{100} \)) x 42,000 = \( \frac{2,142,000}{100} \) = 21,420

The mayor got 70% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{70}{100} \)) x 21,420 = \( \frac{1,499,400}{100} \) = 14,994 votes.

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{60} \)

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $300
i = 0.09 x $300

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
